I had an old dinosaur book and looked at a dinosaur documentary that both depicted the liopleurodon as a blue whale sized animal. When I look at it nowadays they give him a more modest size estimate of 7 meters in lenght. Why did it change?
I saw briefly on a survivalism blog that apparently you can cure meat with wood ashes. Has anyone tried that? What would the result look like?
Let's say I put some slices of meat in the perfect conditions for them to be dehydrated, would I still need salt for them to not go bad? Asking this because I need to regulate my salt intake.
I've cut a chicken breast into small slices and hung them under the strong sun ( it's hot where I live ). When the slices were dried after 10 hours, they smelled VERY strong, to the point where it was offputting. I tried to eat these but I just couldn't. Were they rotten ( even though there was no mold or discoloration ) or should I cook them before eating ? I precise that I didn't put any salt or spices cause I thought the sun would have been enough.
I know the interior of the meat is protected by the outside mold so is it safe to eat raw or not?
Sorry if I'm in the wrong sub.
From what I know, in both cases, the meat loses water so the flavor is more concentrated. So what's the difference between the two?
